I have been developing an app that will automatically take a SMS parse it to create a maps URL and distribute it via MMS to a predefined list of users to route the user from their current location to the location in the MMS. I have done a little research and for iPhone users I am able to send them a URL as fallows: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Current%20Location&daddr=$lat+-$lon"
Highlighted in Red you can see that the URL contains a reference that utilizes the users GPS to obtain their current location and maps sets a route for the user to fallow.
I have looked at the options for android users and I am unable to find similar functionality. I have looked at the android developer documentation and it references using URL's to access applications but it doesn't specifically talk about the users current location in maps.
Any help would be appreciated if I wasn't clear in my question feel free to inquire further I would be more than happy to clarify anything.
Thank you in advance.
